Notes on the Radiata in the Museum of Yale College offers scientific descriptions of new genera and species of echinoderms, drawn from Yale’s collection.

This edition presents early, detailed accounts of starfish and related animals from the Zealand region and the West Coast of the Americas, with careful observations and taxonomic notes.

Readers will find concrete descriptions of forms, their distinctive features, and the kinds of data used to distinguish species. The work includes measurements, morphological details, and references to plates and figures that illustrate the spicula and external features of the organisms.

Descriptions of new genera such as Coelasterias and Coscinasterias, highlighting their unique structures and ray arrangements.
In-depth morphology with notes on plates, spines, pedicellaria, and madreporic features that support classification.
Geographic scope spanning New Zealand, Panama, and the West Coast of America, with specimen provenance and collectors noted.
Illustrative plates and figures that accompany the text, detailing spicula and coralline structures.

Ideal for readers with an interest in 19th‑century marine biology, taxonomy, and the historical development of echinoderm study.
